"It's fantastic to see such a range of artists celebrated. There is a real breadth and depth in our music, with stars from across all genres, new artists and established acts, all winning Tuis. This is real evidence that New Zealand music is flourishing, growing and constantly evolving.
"It has been a real honour to be able to celebrate Shihad's legacy - they are a truly legendary and trailblazing New Zealand band and they have probably influenced most, if not all, of the other winners and finalists from tonight, musically and professionally. And their latest album proves they're still very much at the top of their game."
